"Sweep Before Your Door.n

The condition of the city streets received
some attention in the deliberations of the
Council on Tuesday night. particularly as
to their unclean condition, and it is hoped
that forward step will soon be taken
looking to their batterment in future
Notwithstanding the existence of ordinan
ces specially enacted for the purpose, re-
curing owners and occupants of premises
fronting on any stfee5 On which a pave
ment is laid, to sweep beyond the gutter
three times week, the matter seems to be
neglected and the police force is called on
to show up why the ordinance is not en-
forced. Oar streets, owing to steepness
ought easily to be kept clean, as they are
so easily washed off by every rain fall, and
if the authorities see that the necessary
sweeping is done, the cause for complaint
On this score will soon cease to exist.

The Stonewall Brigade Band Concert.

! The ever popular Stonewall Brigade
Band has frequently appeared on the Opera
| House stage within the last few years,
| occasionally fer their benefit, but most
generally for the benefit of some worthy
cause.-the poor and needy having more
than once had occasion to feel grateful
for their generous efforts in this behalf
But never yet have they made so fine an
| appearance or given SO complete
ard enjoyable concert as the one given
last Friday night, to which the large and
delighted audience present will testify.
From the time the curtain went up,
revealing the superbly uniformed body of
musicians to the enthusiastic, applauding
audience, until the last piece was rendered
and the people reluctantly left their seats,
everything was successful and enjoyable,
and the frequent recalls almost doubled
the length of the we'll arranged program me.
Suffice it to say that the Band never play
ed better, and the novel, tasty effects of
having the solo performers step to the
front while rendering their specialties.
was specially pleasing and effective. OF
the vocalists, all are too we'll known to
need special mention. They acquitted them
selves in their usual creditable, and tasty
manner, as the enthusiastic plaudits Of
the audience abundantly proved. Capt.
Frank Cunningham, of Richmond, has
been favorably known to our community.
whose thanks are due the Band for this
opportunity of hearing him, and he at
once showed that his reputation was we'll
deserved. Capt Cunningham is the for
tunate possesSor of an excellent tenor
voice, pleasing and flexible, which joined
to his remarkable powers of expression,
distinctness of enunciatlon and easy grace
full stage manner, at once placed him In
favor with our people, and on bis last ap-
pearance he was recalled four times by the
delighted audience, who would not be sat
isied without hearing him again and
again. Capt. Cunningham may be assur
ed that his return to Staunton at any time
will be hailed with delight by his many
admirers here.
The Stonewall Band deserves we'll of
our people, for it is creditable organiza-
ton, and as band, ranks high up among
the finest amateur bands in the United
States. Its surprising efficiency speaks
volumes for it's most popular and gentle
manly Director, Prof. I. R. Webb. Prof.
W. has won the confidence of the Band
Boys by his high accomplishments as a
musician, and their respect and esteem by
bis uniformly affable and kind demeanor.
